Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4 - T. H. Marshall

British sociologist, T. H. Marshall (1893-1981) is the author of the book Citizenship and Social Class (1950).

Citizenship is not merely a legal concept. It is also closely related to larger notions of equality and rights. A widely accepted formulation of this relationship was provided by the British sociologist, T. H. Marshall (1893-1981). In his book Citizenship and Social Class (1950), Marshall defined citizenship as “a status bestowed on those who are full members of a community. All who possess the status are equal with respect to the rights and duties with which the status is endowed.”
